Video shows robot crawling up tree to pluck coconuts

AlterSage, a startup based in Kerala's Kozhikode, has developed Cocobot, an automated coconut-harvesting robot. A video showed the machine gripping palm trunks with tracks, climbing up to 20 metres and using robotic arms to pluck coconuts. Powered by a fast-charging battery that fully recharges in 45 minutes, the unit offers up to an hour and a half of continuous operation.
